Default fuel leaking out my breathers.

I filled the boat up the other day, now its parked in the driveway on the trailor and fuel spills out the breathers when it gets warm. My drive has a pretty good pitch to it so i tried adjusting the trailor tongue height, i've pulled the cover back, tried taking the caps off but still when the temp rises about 3pm every day im losing fuel. I dont have time to run some out so anything i can do to stop this? I let the pump click off when it was full and didnt squeeze any more in but obviously i still managed to overfill. Now my cover is soaked in fuel i keep washing the side of the boat hoping to prevent a stain. Im pissed i gotta go run some fuel out quick. Any other tricks to make this stop?

is that why they call you the accelerant? easiest way is probably too siphon some out... probably not the answer you wanted to hear, buy you need to lose some gas and that is probably the easiest w/o running it....

sounds like a good excuse to go run it hard for a few minutes....

Hook up the garden hose and run the engine for a few minutes and burn off a gallon or two

Sounds like it was a fire hazard.
That could have been embarrasing.
